Managers' Express

Sweden needs more managers with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. At all levels. They will add the competence and new perspectives vital for companies and organizations when dealing with the challenges and opportunities of our time. A more diverse management will also attract more of those potential employees recently arrived in our country.

The Managers’ Express project was specially designed for immigrants with managerial experience, to give them the knowledge and tools necessary to move closer to jobs within their fields of competence. The four days program of intensive education, workshops and professional networking provided participants with the vital Swedish specifics for managers, entrepreneurial knowledge, hands-on career coaching, useful contacts with companies and recruitment firms. And more. All free of charge.

The project is closed

This project was closed after two years, in February 2018. But Ledarna continues working for diversity in the Swedish manager line, for example by providing seminars and educations.
